The Key Functions of Robust EHR Platforms

EHR systems are developed to enable smooth data sharing across different healthcare settings. They also should maintain a thorough and ongoing collection of a patient's medical history, ensuring that all authorized personnel can access patient information immediately. Here is our compilation of the most essential features that modern EHR software systems must possess.

Now, let's explore how some of the features above operate within an EHR solution.

Healthcare Data

This section focuses on procedures tailored to record patient-specific information. That includes demographic data, patient issue catalogs, medication histories, clinical assessments, past medical records, and follow-up activities.

• A certified professional at a public health institution enters data into the EHR system. They can view patient details in real-time, shared by other professionals across public and private entities. Furthermore, any modifications or additions the specialist makes to a patient's records are immediately available to other authorized individuals via the electronic platform, facilitating instantaneous data exchange.?

Order Entry/Management

The capabilities of EHR systems enable the entry and storage of requests for prescriptions, tests, and other services. They are designed to improve legibility, reduce redundancy, and speed up the processing of orders. That ensures accurate and reliable healthcare management.

• A licensed healthcare expert at a public medical facility records information into the EHR system. This expert can instantly retrieve past prescription data from multiple healthcare facilities. The order is sent directly to the patient’s pharmacy when they prescribe a medication. Meanwhile, the latter promptly verifies the availability of the medication and informs the patient when the prescription is ready to be picked up.

Results Management

The ability of healthcare practitioners to assess and apply current and past patient data from diverse settings. That helps improve healthcare procedures and approaches, encompassing lab and diagnostic imaging.

• A healthcare professional with the proper authorization at a medical facility orders a lab test and an X-ray. Upon reviewing the patient's EHRs for previous laboratory tests, they find that a recent test has been performed and decide that a repeat test is unnecessary. After examining the results in the EHR system, they refer the patient to a specialist at a different institution, who has access to all of the patient's historical test outcomes.

Clinical Decision Support

The ability to improve compliance with best practice clinical guidelines and ensure regular screenings and preventive actions. That can be performed effectively via notifications, cues, warnings, and automated clinical decision support mechanisms.

• When a prescription is input into the EHR system, the clinical decision support feature instantly notifies the provider of a conflict with another medication prescribed by a different provider from another facility. As a result, the relevant healthcare provider prescribes an alternate medication for the patient.

Improving the quality of care without increasing expenses demands detailed information. So, it is vital within a healthcare setting to ensure that the right people can access the data precisely when required. Hence, EHR systems stand ready to provide this critical data. A well-organized EHR framework can supply crucial data to support medical professionals, managers, and patients with strategic and complex implementation, enhancing the overall healthcare system.
